The EduWiki Conference kicks off Friday in Belgrade, Serbia. We have a great program full of experienced education program leaders learning and sharing. We had significantly more interest in the conference than we had slots available for attendance, so we're pleased to be able to offer live streaming of two rooms on our YouTube channel. The program is here: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/EduWiki_Conference_2023/Program * note: Times in the program are local to Belgrade, CEST or UTC+2. Remember to convert to your own time zone! The streaming links are available here: https://www.youtube.com/@EduWikiUG/streams Note, we are streaming from two rooms (Atrium & Forum); please consult the schedule to identify which room you'd like to watch. A handful of sessions will not be streamed due to presenters' requests; for those, you will not see the camera icon on the session listing. Enjoy! The EduWiki Conference 2023 Organizing Committee

Wikipedia & Education enthusiasts, We're looking forward to welcoming 120 participants to the EduWiki Conference in Belgrade next month. As of now, every slot at the conference has been filled, so we have no additional capacity to host any other participants, even those who are self-funding. If you're planning to attend but you did not receive an email today, please reach out to eduwiki(a)vikimedija.org ASAP. We do plan to stream sessions during the conference on our YouTube channel.

Re: [African Wikimedians] OFWA TOT Workshop 2023
by Adjoa Linda Fletcher 06 Feb '23

06 Feb '23

Was the event recorded? Do you have any how-to videos? Due to covid in NYC, I have not been able to attend any in-person meetups. Most of the in-person edit thons in NYC have been very basic and introductory. One session I attended online talked about adding commas to existing Wikipedia articles. I personally thought this would not be a good way to engage my community's involvement with Wikipedia. It would not interest them to put their time into it. Maybe some 3rd graders. I get very little advance training from local events in NYC. Most advanced learning I get comes from attending Wikimania or the North America conferences. Local Wikipedia edit thons are usually just about getting people users names, and how to do simple edits. Because of this I have had over the years to teach myself. I started a zoom wiki edit and study group during covid sheltering in place. I share what I know, and my experience as a Wikipedia content provider. The zoom group focuses mostly on adding relevant content of interest to the African Diaspora community. We enjoy our discussions and learning about new areas of interest by research and conversations via zoom, texting, telephone conversations. I need to learn more about the different tools available that I am not using. Due to covid and starting weekly zoom sessions my participation has grown, and so have two other participants. It is like a club. They have gone from going to a Wikipedia event maybe twice a year to meeting via zoom once a week for almost 3 years. This has been a huge jump in participation and Wikipedia involvement that they share within their circles. It has been good for me too. I have not had to edit alone, which has increased my Wikipedia involvement immensely also. As a working group we have done Wikipedia articles about Africa even though we are based in America, and are African Americans. We don't just focus on our ethnicity. We have edited and compiled Wikipedia articles about Ghana and Senegal. Learning about other places and communities. We have spent lots of time studying African histories to edit and create these Wikipedia articles. We noticed that Senegal is very under represented, because it is French speaking. We have researched and compiled a list of African scientists and Inventors that have won awards. We did a few articles from this list and wikidata entries. This effort is a work in progress. I do want to expand and work with a couple of youth groups in my area. African Americans are underrepresented in the Wikipedia movement, and so are African American youth. Please let me know of any Wikipedia youth campaign projects we can connect with and participate. Linda Fletcher Dabo Please advise. Thanks.
